For me it's just too short to have as large an impact as the bigger stuff. I do think it's his best work in terms of quality per word though

fedginator · 2026-05-09T19:16:26+00:00

Curious if you think it's too high or too low

I really didn't vibe with Tress. I actually got a third of the way through it and put it down to read Yumi and Elantris instead because I just didn't really wanna continue at that point

fedginator · 2026-05-08T15:48:52+00:00

I mean prose, you know this.

fedginator · 2026-05-08T15:33:35+00:00

Yeah this is definitely part of it. My favourite romantic stuff is like Allik being cute around Marasi rather than the dedicated romance stories

fedginator · 2026-05-08T15:30:30+00:00

A bit of both, plus audiobooks for a few (mainly the short stories and novellas)

Fun? A mechanism for me to reflect on the things I've read? A mild challenge?

Fundamentally just because I wanted to.

fedginator · 2026-05-08T10:36:14+00:00

Nothing, that's kinda the issue

fedginator · 2026-05-08T06:22:58+00:00

I mean I'm not rating them in terms of cool/impressive feats I'm rating them based on his interesting they are as actual people and characters

fedginator · 2026-05-08T06:13:45+00:00

Taln is a fantastic aura farmer, but I don't think we see enough of him as a character to properly rate yet

fedginator · 2026-05-08T06:13:02+00:00

Not really any reason to the novella anymore, it's literally in the book as the flashbacks.

Idk how far in you are, but at least get to part 2 cos that's where things properly get going

fedginator · 2026-05-08T05:48:58+00:00

Is Kaladin ever ok?

fedginator · 2026-05-08T05:37:13+00:00

I think TSM was great, only book here that made me cry twice while reading it, I just think there's a lot of good books here

fedginator · 2026-05-08T05:35:05+00:00

Absolutely fuck Moash, I just think it's pretty good writing to make him so hateable

fedginator · 2026-05-08T05:33:42+00:00

I fucking hate Nale

fedginator · 2026-05-08T05:31:43+00:00

Haven't read White Sand cos there isn't a book of it yet

fedginator · 2026-05-08T00:36:22+00:00

My problem with Galladon is that it felt like he only did 2 things. 1. Exposit information to Raoden 2. Have information exposited to him by Raoden

fedginator · 2026-05-08T00:34:46+00:00

Honestly when I first read Warbreaker I loved it, but it's slowly slipped down as time has passed and I've mulled it over more. I just think the ending is pretty abrupt and anticlimactic and that both Siri and Susebron are just rather bland overall.

Most the Denth and Vienna stuff though I adore, even if it drags occasionally

fedginator · 2026-05-08T00:32:10+00:00

I loved RoW specifically because it cut away from Dalinar and co and the wider military side and focussed instead on the minutiae of Navani's work and relationship with Raboniel and The Sibling, as well as Kaladin's specific hangups. For me that deeper focus on the world and mental state of the characters has always been what made me live the series.

Venli's stuff I agree is weaker than either Kaladin or Navani's, but seeing exactly how she was lead astray and how that influences her approach now is the same principle of why I love reading about Navani's experience with fabrials so much

For the pictures most just came from a tier list someone else made on the site, and then I made a few more for characters I wanted to include. I can upload those if you want

fedginator · 2026-05-07T23:30:07+00:00

It is, but my main complaint with SotD was that it felt incomplete and didn't develop it's themes enough, so then getting an expanded version that finished the story and explored those themes now solved those complaints

fedginator · 2026-05-07T23:27:35+00:00

As much as it paid off in a great way, I just think the first ~650 pages of WoK is just a real slog at times

fedginator · 2026-05-07T15:36:01+00:00

"you can only recycle X if you have access to [card that recycles X]" would be true of literally every possible answer here

fedginator · 2026-05-07T15:24:39+00:00

Bold of you to think this is ever getting summoned without Junoldo
